Is there parking available?

There’s on street parking and a cheap garage a block away.

Is the building secure?

Yes. There’s a buzzer in the lobby which rings on my cellphone. I must buzz students into the building.

Is there a waiting area?

There is not a waiting area, but there are plenty of places to visit around the studio for a cup of coffee, lunch, or something sweet!

Whats the cancellation policy?

If you need to cancel, I ask that you give me at least a 24 hour notice, otherwise I will not be able to fill that space and will expect full payment for the time. Of course things happen, which will always be taken into consideration.

Do you teach voice?

No, but I have a list of voice teachers I work closely with and can suggest someone for you.

What do I need for my first coaching?

Just bring yourself! We’ll discuss what you are hoping to accomplish and I can suggest monologues, plays, books and songs that will help you reach your goal.

Do you only coach teenagers?

Nope! While the majority of my students are teens getting ready to audition for college, I also have many adults who are looking to hone their craft. My students range in age from 9-65.
